The unit rate is 0.6 pages is colored per hour
Solution:
Given that, we have to find the unit rate
A unit rate describes how many units of the first type of quantity corresponds to one unit of the second type of quantity.
Knox can color 1/5 of a page of his coloring book in 1/3 of an hour
Thus, the unit rate is pages per hour
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{1}{5} \text{ page } = \frac{1}{3} \text{ hour }[/tex]
We have to find the pages colored in 1 hour
[tex]\frac{pages}{hour} = \frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\\frac{pages}{hour} = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{3}{1}\\\\\frac{pages}{hour} = 0.6[/tex]
Thus, 0.6 pages is colored per hour
